When you let an industry regulate itself, you end up with the 737-MAX and a reassurance that existing 737 pilots don't need further training to fly it...

Huh. Dijkstra is a Dutch name.

IJ/ij is a single letter ÿ but typed on a typical keyboard.

The Dutch word for (water management structure) dyke is dijk.

Flows nicely, but it's an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

  • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
  • Déagol found the ring in a river.
  • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
  • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
  • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

Gotta say, I don't read their posts as trolling. Perhaps some mildly trollish language in the first comment, but in the context of their further responses they do seem to have a critical but genuine and insightful perpective on the topic at hand.

Many countries around the world have been experiencing legislative overreach brought in under the guise of prohibiting racism/violence/antivax/etc, but written to effectively create a framework for suppressing any protest and discourse which any government of the day (and by extension their sponsors) can use to crack down on whatever they define as wrongthink.

That kind of predicted result strongly prompts the need to wrack our collective minds in search of a better solution, which I believe the commenter was trying to encourage.

Rule 6: Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it’s a major figure or a politician.
